I have watched the videos over and over too. I never thought to see if I could get mine on video. Good idea. I did tell him I wanted to see my stomach they take out though...morbid curiosity, I guess

I don't think I want to read that lol. I cheated a couple times on my 2 weeks, but got right back on track.

I am too. I am sitting at work and can't even concentrate, but trying not to freak out lol. I did my before picture yesterday. I should have taken it before I started the liquids as I have lost 11 pounds (I don't think it really made that much of a difference). Cant wait for my first after pic

I tried to stay busy this weekend to keep my mind off how nervous I am. House clean, laundry done, yard done, groceries bought, etc. I still have to pack a bag for my son and I, but I figure I will need something to do tomorrow night to occupy my mind.

I only took one as well, uh oh

I doubt you are actually feeling hungry as long as you are getting your Protein from the diet. If you are anything like me, you are just tired of being on the diet and missing real food. The closer I get, the more I think about real food. Don't cave, you are too close! Good luck.

Are you at Sparrow? That is where I am having mine done. 12 weeks...nice. I had 6 months. My surgery is this coming Tuesday, so nervous.

July 26th too, counting down the days!

Pretty much many of the things listed here will be helpful to you at home too. One thing I would concentrate on however is making sure you have all of your Clear liquids and full liquids available and ready to go. I would personally choose to order the individual samples so you won't be stuck with huge tubs of Protein supplements that you may not like post surgery. My tastebuds were really off whack and though I liked some pre surgery I really couldn't stand them after. However your tastebuds do return and if you buy something you know you liked in the past you may like it again someday after. Samples? Where do you get those?

I had to quit caffeine months ago for the surgery and I had to wean myself slowly as well. I would say don't do cold turkey, but time is limited, so you might have to with surgery in a week. You will already be a grouch because you are hungry, now you can just blame it on the coffee. Good luck, throw the chips in the garbage!!

Going really well so far, I started the 12th so I have 8 more days to go! I am struggling to get my Water in(any suggestions would be awesome) but I really like my Protein shakes so I really haven't been hungry. I do notice all the food advertisements more which makes me a little emotional but, I know that I'm better off following the path I'm on. Good luck to everyone we are getting really close now.

I am on day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet. I wish I had all the options that some people seem to have. I am only allowed New Direction products 4 times a day, so I am living on their chocolate Protein shakes and their Soup. They all taste pretty bad at this point and I am ready to be done and on to the next phase of my journey.

I'm 7/26 too!! 3 weeks?!! Ugh!! I have my pre op appointment Tuesday and will find out what my diet will be then. But thankfully it's only a week. Good luck with everything!!Im also July 26th. There are at least four of us scheduled for that day. Am nervous but excited! I start liquid diet tomorrow. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App Also July 26th. It does seem like there are a lot of us. I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet. Mine is pretty strict and the food I had to get is awful, so I am really looking forward to surgery just to stop eating lol. Good luck to all of you!

Also July 26th. Getting very nervous and glad to hear I am not the only one.

Oh my goodness. I got nervous just reading your post. Please keep us informed of how it went.

We are sleeve sisters! Mine is July 26th also. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow to get preop diet, etc. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! I'm in the same boat as you. On top of it, I've put all these things I want to get done b4 the surgery on my plate (have windows and carpets washed, house clean, laundry done, etc.) I know realistically what gets done gets done and what doesnt is no big deal. The fear of the unkown is what we have right now and there's nothing we can do about it till we are going through it. (Except ask lots of questions, watch youtube vids of other people's experiences and read) We will be fine, and we will take it one hour/day at a time. Everyone who's had it done has said its the best thing they've ever done for themselves. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App Hey sleeve sister!!! You are so lucky you haven't had to start the diet already. I am really struggling. The food is terrible and I am hungry all the time. I have completely forgot about all of the things I should do before I have it, thanks for reminding me. I think it will help me rather than stress me out, you know, keep my mind busy. Good luck today (I hope your diet is better than mine) and we need to keep in touch throughout.

It seems like every facility is different. I am on my 2 week liquids and can't have anything except the Optifast products 4 times a day. I don't get options for soup, salad, etc. And it's terrible stuff lol.

Are you at Sparrow? That is where I am having mine done.

July 26th!! Also very nervous

I am on the 26th. Good Luck!!

My surgery is July 26th. I am 2 days into my liquid diet. I have been so excited, but I am now starting to freak out. I'm a nervous person anyway, but now I am asking myself all of the questions and what ifs. I am terrified of the actual surgery and even more scared of making all the right decisions after. Any other worry warts out there and what are you doing?
